This scope does not include attendance at public meeting or hearings or response to public comments. Should additional work be requested and needed, these would be billed in addition to the proposed scope and budget. TRAFFIC AND PARKING The original proposal for walkable community gardens at these locations were expected to attract people in the immediate neighborhood without generating traffic or parking demand. The skate facilities lighted to allow evening use as late as 10 pm will change how the parks are used. We will observe other skate parks within evening use to gain a projected traffic rate and reviewthis project in that context. AIR QUALITY/GHG The additional traffic generated by the skate facilities will require modification of construction emissions, plus addition of auto -related emissions. AESTHETICS/LIGHT AND GLARE While we do not have lighting plans, the lights will be on stanchions tall enough to be visible from off -site and adjacent residences. Daytime visual impacts will be evaluated along with light spillover and glare. We prepare a lighting analysis showing spillover in foot-candles at the property line and visual simulations of the two parks at two locations, each. We will work with the City to determine the appropriate light spillover significance threshold, if a standard has not been established. HYDROLOGY/WATER QUALITY The environmental document will review hydrology and water quality impacts based on the project plans and studies provided by the project engineer. This will include a description of drainage areas, stormwater volumes and method of maintaining water quality via the bioswale, CEQA/NEPA DOCUMENTATION The CE0A1lnitial Study and the NEPA/Environmental Assessment will require modification, including project description/graphics, alternatives (NEPA), etc. This will also require an additional review of the draft documents by the City and Ni We are assuming that the analysis will conclude all impacts are less than significant or less than significant with mitigation. COST ESTIMATE Table 1 presents our estimated cost to complete the additional work to revise the park projects to include skate facilities. This assumes thatthatthe CEQA/NEPA clearance will remain with an IS/EA and an EIR/EIS will not he necessary. If this changes, we will require an additional amendment to the budget.
